Very simply and witty: five rockets and a mirror. By the way, ugly pjatinogaja the turtle whom Bulls saw in an office of
Krajuhina, is, it appears, a breadboard model of "Hiusa". Grace of contours of "Hius", frankly speaking, does not differ...
The engineer has again sat down, having writhed, resting a naked back against a cool wall.
"We start on a photon rocket ` ` Hius-2". ` ` Hius-1 "has burnt down two years ago during tests, - Dauge has unwillingly told. -
Nobody knows, why. To ask there is nobody, the Unique person who could tell about it something, is Ashot Petrosyan, light
to it memory! It has broken up in a nuclear dust together with weight of the alloyed titan of which the case of the first ` ` by
Hiusa" has been made. Easy and fair death... "" Anybody from us, probably, is not afraid of death, - has thought Bulls. - we
only do not want it. Whose it is words? "It of tears from a sofa. It will not be possible to fall asleep, it is clear. An absolute
reflector. Danzhe,"Hius", Petrosyan..." We will try a last resort ".
It left on a balcony, absolutely mechanically nashariv in a pocket of a jacket a pack of cigarettes.
If it is not slept, it is necessary properly pomerznut. Bulls has leant the elbows on a handrail. It was silent. The huge city slept
in illusive twilight of July night; far behind horizon there was a pink flickering glow, in the north of a dazzling white arrow the
peak of the Palace of Councils left in the grey sky.
"Any more less than two, - have thought Bulls. - where, however, my hours?.
Surprisingly warm. A soft warm breeze... And here ` ` hius ", on-sibirski - a winter wind, severjak. The project of a photon
rocket was developed by engineers-Siberians, and they have offered this word as the code name. Then this name has
passed and to a rocket".
Strange, unusual names. "Hius" - in honour of the Siberian icy cold, "Uranium Golconda", apparently, - in memory of an
ancient city where tsar Solomon stored is no time the diamonds... And still - "a riddle of Tahmasiba".
